However, the performance didn’t take place on the turf of J.E. Moore Park, but at a gathering inside the club rooms pre-game. It had been bought to the Club’s attention that one of its own, Djarran Graham – a player in the club’s under-13 team – was facing some significant health challenges. West Preston-Lakeside fully embraced the fundraising required to alleviate some duress on DJ and his family, and a post went out on the club’s website encouraging the West Preston-Lakeside community to support the worthy cause. As news filtered through to the senior players, a wave of emotion swept through the ranks, and a call to arms, led by captain Joel McDonald and coach Leigh Cole, provided the impetus for one of the most thoughtful and considerate courses of action taken by any team in the Club’s history. The players, all unsolicited, undertook a fundraising campaign, which included a special team meeting held by the seniors, where it was decided to donate a large percentage of all players and coaches match payments, and extended to those players in the reserves, who dropped in their ‘hard earned’ to support one of the club’s family members . The campaign netted $4,000 in funds, and an unqualifiable amount in goodwill. It is said that the best way to test the strength of anything, is to place it under duress, and see how it performs. One of West Preston-Lakeside’s own was under duress, and found strength from his club and its constituents. So what do we make of all this? How do we attempt to quantify the value of what it means to be part of a community who understands it’s obligation to its own. Perhaps Cesar Chavez said it best: “We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community. Our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own.” Remember, it’s more than a game!

NFL. ORG. AU 3 NFL News STOP. ONE PUNCH CAN KILL ROUND All matches in the NFL this week will support STOP. One Punch Can Kill – raising awareness of the dangers and devastation of social violence. Violence not only affects the victim and their families but also the offender – there are no winners. Lives changed forever. There are no acceptable levels of violence, violence should never be an option, it’s destructible, irreparable and deadly and there are no winners. We are all well aware of coward punch attacks that have led to many deaths over the past few years. Many know victims who have been killed as a result of these senseless acts of violence. Many have played footy with them, gone to the same school, socialised with them and many have been affected by the sheer randomness and senseless loss of life due to a moment of madness, aggression and thuggery. Violence can happen to anyone at anytime… it is often random and unprovoked. From the year 2000-2016 we have had approximately 108 deaths as a result of social/street violence. In 2016 alone there have been 9 senseless deaths. This does not begin to measure the devastation, pain and grief that the victims’ families are going through. The victims’ lives cut dramatically short – all their plans, goals gone in a split second. Victims included in these statistics of social/street violence are also women. This adds to the ever growing family violence epidemic and also needs immediate attention. There are many contradictions in our society of what is acceptable behaviour in our society. We keep accepting bad behaviour and violence as part of our culture. This violent culture is at times present in different sporting codes and that is also sending the wrong message. Sometimes the line between aggression and violence is blurred. At times spectators applaud it and encourage it and this has to change. We need good role models at all levels in our community, sporting, corporate, media, artists, etc. We need to nurture and guide our young. First and foremost this must begin at home. Parents must create a safe, loving and nurturing environment. This is then further supported within sporting clubs by creating a safe environment where participation encourages 4 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record confidence, social skills, sporting skills leading to lifelong experiences. We believe all individuals must take responsibility for their actions and in particular what they consume. Excessive consumption of alcohol and or drugs can lead to aggression and violence. Violence is not always triggered by these as they can be inherent in the makeup of individuals. The excessive consumption of alcohol and or drugs can also impair the senses and can leave a person vulnerable to becoming a victim. Their ability to react to violence or danger can be impaired. All individuals must honestly assess what the consumption of these drugs do to their bodies. If you become violent after consuming five drinks, then just have three drinks. We are not saying not to drink, but understand the triggers. Also understand how you react to disappointment, an argument, etc. Do you lose control and lash out? Do you become verbally abusive? There are many scenarios. Identify what these triggers are and change your behaviours, get help from a professional, family or friends. You are not alone. Being a true mate is very important. Taking responsibility is paramount, but looking out for your mates is a key factor in social settings. Have an honest conversation with your mate if they are behaving badly or aggressively. Don’t encourage these bad behaviours. If your friend has had one too many, get them home. We encourage “party safe” and “get home safe”. As a community we deserve and expect “safe streets” and we all can play a part towards this. The answer is simple “KEEP YOUR FISTS DOWN AND WALK AWAY” Email STOP.

NFL News COUGARS FINDING FORM AT RIGHT TIME by Dan Campbell With five rounds to go, Northcote Park has pushed its way back into finals contention. The Cougars have joined the battle for fifth spot on the Meadows Greyhounds Division 1 ladder and sit equal on points with Montmorency, West Preston-Lakeside and Eltham. Among their results over the past month are wins over fellow aspirant Eltham, finals-bound Bundoora, and Lower Plenty – who the Cougars defeated at the weekend for their first away win of the season. Senior coach Harmit Singh knows the enormity of the next five weeks, as his side jostles for its secondsuccessive finals appearance. “We find ourselves in a bit of a logjam for fifth now with five rounds to go,” Singh told The Northerner. “It’s been pleasing to get a little bit more consistency in terms of our playing performances (and) that obviously translates to more reward for effort.” Singh has always believed in the evenness of Division 1, despite the likes of Heidelberg and Greensborough currently occupying first and second places on the ladder outright. “I said this when I first came into the competition, that it’s a very even competition. I feel it was the same case last year – I don’t feel there are any easy games in Division 1,” he said. “There are a couple of sides towards the top of the ladder well-entrenched in their positions, but it is still very even and there’s plenty to play for, for all the remaining sides trying to get into the finals.” Northcote Park has enjoyed a strong record at home this season, winning five of its six matches at Bill Lawry Oval. Hosting Whittlesea this weekend, the Cougars will be out to avenge their Round 9 loss to the Eagles. The Cougars have been met with a number of injury hurdles this year, including the pre-season losses of two-time best and fairest Nick Carter, forward recruit Simon Andrews, utility Jake Mills and leadership group member Wade Demasi. They also lost both of their 2015 ruckmen Joel West and Oliver McEwan in the transfer period. “In an ideal world, I’d love to have all those four boys playing, but what it has done is given some opportunities to the younger guys,” Singh said. “We’ve had three or four under-19s playing some weeks in our side which is really positive for the club – (Lachlan) Boscarini, (Daniel) Costanzo and (Paul) Steinicke have basically played the whole season in the seniors. “I think it’s exciting for the club at the same time as well, that there are guys ready to step up from the reserves and under-19s.” Inspiration captain Bronik Davies is enjoying yet another stellar season ahead of his 100th game for the club this weekend. “He will go down in Northcote Park history as one of the greatest players. (He’s) certainly the best captain I’ve played alongside or coached,” Singh said. “(Bronik) is just an outstanding person and leader of men (and) his ability to play at a consistently high level week-in, week-out is enormous. “For someone with that much ability, he’s very selfless – he’ll always look to help others and how he can make them better.” Young-guns Lachlan Boscarini and Gerard Sutton are enjoying life in the leadership group, and have proved integral parts of the Cougars’ backline this season. “Both those boys are in our leadership group and they have provided a lot of run and drive from our back six,” Singh said. “But also they’ve been quite sound at defending first and foremost, especially Sutton - he’s an outstanding defender. He sets the benchmark in terms of his ability when we don’t actually have the footy.” Collingwood-listed VFL utility Jordan Collopy has had an impact in his three matches for the Cougars this season. The 22-year-old has been prolific through the midfield to feature in the club’s best in the past fortnight. “We’ve been fortunate enough to have Jordan the last couple of weeks. His form at VFL level has been really strong but given the injuries at Collingwood at the moment have decreased, he’s sort of been squeezed out,” Singh said. “He’s kicked eight goals in two games playing midfield – just a super, super player. He’s been able to give us a lot of run and carry – very strong at stoppages. “The boys have definitely been impressed with him and how selfless he’s been when he’s come back to us, and his attitude.” WWW.

The Bulls bounced back from their Round 12 defeat to Northcote Park in epic fashion, leading at every change to triumph 16.7 (103) to 8.12 (60) at Yulong Reserve. The win keeps their chance of a top-three finish well and truly alive and puts them two wins and percentage inside the top five. Eltham has now fallen to the back of the pack of teams chasing a finals place, sitting in eighth position. However, losses to rival clubs Montmorency and West Preston-Lakeside means percentage alone is keeping the Panthers from the top half of the table. Midfield was the key battleground and it was there the Panthers were simply blown away. Anton Woods, Chris Brannan and Gavan Connelly battled manfully for the visitors, but the Bulls’ midfielders gorged on clearances and contested ball, and victory for them never looked in doubt. Matthew Dennis had a major say in the game and completely outplayed his opponents, being just as damaging on the ground as he was aerially. Troy Barbero, Brendan Carlyon and Jack Furlong were all influential in the victory, breaking lines and piling on the inside 50s, while Daman Aujla dominated the match booting three goals. Connelly was the only multiple goal-kicker for the visitors with three majors. The Panthers struggled to break the home side’s defensive shackles, scoring just four goals in each half as they were simply outclassed. Bundoora kicked six goals in a dominant first term – Aujla and Luke Simpson grabbing two apiece – and never looked like losing from there, with the Panthers all but kicking themselves out of the contest with inaccuracy in front of goal. Anton Woods opened the scoring to give the Panthers an early lead with a long-range counter-attacking goal after Bundoora had much of the play in the early stages. Sean Bolger also found himself on the end of a fastbreak goal, but the Panthers not making the most of their opportunities had them punished for the remainder of the quarter. The Bulls kicked four of their first-quarter goals in as many minutes and were clinical in the way they were moving the ball in this patch, completely isolating Eltham’s defenders to take a 21-point lead into the first break. Eltham began the second quarter superbly and its tackling pressure was a standout as Matthew Evans sailed through his side’s third goal of the game. More dominance from the visitors resulted only in a host of behinds, but a long-range and well-earned Chris McCabe goal from a turnover brought the margin back to just five points. Bundoora would again wrestle back the momentum late in the second quarter with goals to Gary Moorcroft, Dominic Nixon and Isaac Muller, taking the margin back out to 23 points at half time. Gavan Connelly got the Panthers off to a flyer in the third term with a goal that gave the impression the game was still up for grabs. Eltham’s early ascendancy, however, was instantly wasted with countless turnovers entering the forward line. The home side began to chip away at the contest and a sudden lack of intensity from the visitors led to simple goals to Moorcroft, Carlyon and David Mitchell – thereby guaranteeing the game was over with a 37-point buffer at three quarter time. Eltham couldn’t bridge the gap in the final term and the damage had been done. Further goals to Aujla, Dennis and Ben Shelton capped off what was a strong performance from the seemingly finals-bound Bulls. FINAL SCORE: Bundoora 16.7 (103) def Eltham 8.12 (60) WWW. NFL. ORG.

The 13.12 (90) to 9.7 (61) win meant the Demons remained a game clear of Watsonia on the ladder, ahead of their big clash at A.K Lines Reserve in Round 15. It was Epping who got the jump, however. Having controlled much of the early play, the Blues were able to kick clear in the opening 10 minutes, with goals from Joel Dunmore and Jason Stavely giving them an early 13-point buffer. However, Mernda slowly began to get back into the contest, and started to get the game on its terms, with its run proving to be pivotal. Daniel Bryant was able to kick the Demons’ first goal at the 15-minute mark. The second quarter proved to be Mernda’s best of the season. The visitors were frequently getting an overlap based on their running prowess, featuring frequent breaking of lines and plenty of running handballs. Despite this, inaccuracy was keeping Epping well in the hunt – the Demons kicking 4.7 for the quarter. Luke Drakes opened the scoring for the Demons in the opening minute of the second, before Matthew Tarr kicked two goals in the space of a minute to allow the Demons to open up a lead. While they had many gettable opportunities, they did miss a chance to put the game away well before half-time, and were made to pay when Kevin Kiernan snapped a clever goal for Epping. Just prior to half-time, Andrew O’Reilly was able to part the seas deep in attack, breaking through to kick another goal for the Demons and opening up a threegoal half-time lead. The first five minutes of the third quarter proved to be crucial for Mernda as it doubled its lead in a flash. Anthony Cardamone snapped a goal, before Luke Drakes kicked an even better goal just a couple of minutes later. When David Hutchinson added another, there was a sense that Mernda could perhaps run away with the game. However, as plenty have now become accustomed, Epping fought back. Aaron Willitts and Dean Delaney fought a good battle throughout the day, but it was the Epping spearhead who kicked two quick goals. Thomas Hughes added another to reduce the margin to 16 points at three quarter time. With the game on the line, Epping tried to make a move, and got the perfect start when Daniel Moore kicked a goal three minutes in to reduce the margin to 10 points. However, that was as close as his side got. Jake Stavrevski kicked a clutch goal from the pocket to extend the margin back to 18 points, yet the majority of the last quarter was goal for goal as both sides kept fighting. Kiernan kicked his second for the game to reduce the margin yet again, before Shannon McVeigh converted from a 50m penalty. Willits was able to give Epping life yet again, but the last 10 minutes proved to be all Mernda, with Adrian Stefanile kicking two quick goals, and Stavrevski converting again to hand the Demons an important win, ending Epping’s nine-match winning streak in the process Stefanile was terrific for Mernda while captain Les Adams and young gun Anthony Bradford relished the opportunity to play against their former side. For Epping, Lucas Aquilina and Thomas Sullivan were the main contributors, while Willitts broke even with three goals. FINAL SCORE: Epping 9.7 (61) def by Mernda 13.12 (90) WWW. NFL. ORG. AU 9 * 10 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record NFL News LIONS KEEP IN TOUCH WITH TOP FOUR by Doug Long South Morang remained in the Heidelberg Golf Club Division 3 finals race after an emphatic 47-point win over Banyule in heavy conditions at Mill Park Lakes Reserve in Round 14. Paul Harrison booted seven goals for the Lions – all from marks and most of them contested – in the 16.4 (100) to 7.11 (53) victory. South Morang was in control with a 39-point lead at the main break. Any flickering hope Banyule may have had was extinguished in a 6.0 to 2.5 third term – with Harrison slotting four for the term for the hosts. “It was a positive to have 22 good contributors after a disappointing game last week,” South Morang coach Dean Grainger said after the game. “The boys got back to enjoying their footy today.” The Lions had winners on every line. Luke Shelton is having a terrific year and continued on his merry way in the midfield and down forward. He won the ball on the inside and got it out to players in space. James Hewson scored two opportunist goals for South Morang in one of his best games for the season. The other multiple goal-kicker was Ben Nesci. He nailed one of his two goals in the third term when he ran onto the ball in hectares of space and dashed inside 50 to score. When Banyule went forward, Mathew Robinson repeatedly repelled attacks. He blanketed Bears forward Jake Hooper and took several key intercept marks. The Lions were up by 25 points to nil late in the first term, but the game was tight for most of the early stages. Livewire Daniel Caruso’s goal for South Morang was the only score in the first 12 minutes. Down by 25 points, the Bears attacked for the latter part of the opening stanza for a return of three behinds. At the quarter time break, Banyule coach Jason Plant asked his team to tighten up on their opponents and asked each player to work hard to ensure his opponent could not be an option. His team began well in the second quarter with an early goal to Alex Carapetis. Soon after they had evened up the scoring shots, but trailed 1.4 to 4.1. Three goals in quick time by the Lions put a space between them and their opponents and controlled the game thereafter. Banyule won the final term by three goals to one and fought the game out well after being totally outplayed when the contest was up for grabs. The final term highlight was a handball out from Banyule’s Beau Parthenides to Alex Carapetis, who dummied around an opponent, ran inside 50 and kicked a major. The Bears had few clear winners on the day, but coach Jason Plant was pleased with the efforts of Ryan Keys on the dangerous Kane Maghamez – who was goalless. “Credit to South Morang – who came ready to play,” Plant said. “Our guys were a bit passive early and let them dictate terms. We fought it out well, but you don’t give a good team a start like that and expect to win.

With Heidelberg sitting pretty in first place, the fight for the final two places inside the top three looks to be down to three – Greensborough, Macleod and Bundoora. A logjam has developed in the middle of the ladder, with four sides all locked on 24 points. The winner of Bundoora v Greensborough will take a monumental step forward in their quest for a double chance in the finals. It was an impressive Bundoora outfit that showed up last week, moving one step closer to securing a 16th successive finals berth when it downed Eltham by 43 points. Damandeep Aujla returned from the Northern Blues to put in a best on ground showing, while Matthew Dennis continued his outstanding season. Greensborough will be on the hunt for its fourthconsecutive win, and will also be looking to make amends for its Round 3 home loss to Bundoora. Last week the Boro outlasted West Preston-Lakeside, coming from seven points down at half-time to win by 18. David Ellard and Tristan Stead were again prominent, while Billy Bedford kicked four goals in a breakout performance. Montmorency’s finals hopes have taken a dip over the past fortnight and its task gets no easier this week when it hosts Heidelberg. Montmorency was blown away early by Macleod in Round 13 and faced a 37-point deficit at the main break. Despite improved form in the second half, the mountain was too big to climb, with Daniel Keenan and Callum Daley named their side’s best in defeat. The Magpies boast a strong record against Heidelberg and have not lost to the Tigers at home since 2012. Heidelberg was able to celebrate their 140th year gala in style last Saturday night after earlier accounting for Whittlesea. Dan Connors and youngster Lachlan Wilson both booted four goals. With Sam Gilmore not far away from a return, the 12-1 Tigers are tracking nicely ahead of their return to finals action. Macleod plays its second-successive home game when it welcomes West Preston-Lakeside to De Winton Park. The Roos’ have impressed over the past fortnight, scoring comfortable wins over Whittlesea and Montmorency. Defenders Hayden Seivers and Brad Leggett were adjudged their side’s best in last week’s by Samuel Zito win. Macleod has had troubles against West PrestonLakeside in recent times, most notably in Round 8, when the Roosters snatched a one-point victory. West Preston-Lakeside has won just once over the past month and is at risk of falling a game and percentage outside the top five if it can’t pull off a win in Round 14. The Roosters pushed strongly against Greensborough, before fading in the last. Shaun Gannon was fantastic in his return, with support from David Rodan and Joel McDonald. Northcote Park will be looking to continue its strong home form when it hosts Whittlesea at Bill Lawry Oval. The Cougars have surged back into finals contention on the back of wins in three of their past four games. Six goals from Koden Colman helped guide the Cougars past Lower Plenty last week. The Cougars booted 13 second-half goals, with their final score of 20.16 (136) their highest tally since Round 15, 2014. Bronik Davies, Jordan Collopy and Jordan Perry continued their good form. Whittlesea will be looking to double the dose against Northcote Park, after scoring its first win of the season when the sides met in Round 9. Last week they were no match for Heidelberg, despite impressing in patches. Matthew Atta’s strong form continued, while young defender Tom Falls again showed promising signs. The final game of the round sees Lower Plenty travel to Eltham Central Park to take on Eltham. Eltham’s inconsistency continued, unable to replicate its Round 12 form in last week’s 43-point loss to Bundoora. Gavan Connelly booted three goals, while Eamon Gilbert was solid. It was a costly defeat for last year’s preliminary finalists, who slipped to eighth spot. But, given the evenness of the competition, the Panthers are still very much in the finals race. Lower Plenty’s effort certainly cannot be questioned, with the Bears’ form much improved since the Queen’s Birthday split round. However, turnovers continue to hurt the young side, with their opposition often able to score on the rebound. Sam and Ben Paterson have been welcome additions to the senior side in recent weeks. WWW. NFL. ORG. AU 13 MEADOWS GREYHOUNDS DIVISION 1 BUNDOORA This week we welcome our old adversary Greensborough to Yulong Reserve. LAST WEEK: A sunny day at Yulong Reserve had us all in an upbeat mood. Hopes were high we could turn our disappointing loss to Northcote Park in to a positive with a win against Eltham to get us back on track with the finals fast approaching. Dammo Aujla joined our senior team after some time away with the Northern Blues and it was exciting to watch his talented ball skills on the ground. Matty Dennis again showed his class with another stellar game and with our confidence returning even our trusted back man Ben “Dad” Shelton kicked a beautiful goal from a tight angle. It was an excellent and well needed win against Eltham. If only we could bottle this confidence and take it with us to each game it would be a wonderful thing. TODAY: We will have the opportunity today to see if our confidence is still with us, as Greensborough are never going to lie down and die and give you four points without a fight. AROUND THE BULLRING: Adios Omigo. Trent Grant GREENSBOROUGH Today we head to Bundoora. A special thanks to all at West Preston-Lakeside who put on a fantastic day last week. Your hospitality was greatly appreciated! SENIORS: Made it three-straight wins with an 18-point win against West Preston. For a change, our kicking at goal left a bit to be desired, having eight more shots on goal, yet only winning by 18 points. Bill “The Future” Bedford proved why he is the future of our club, booting four goals in a breakout performance. Dave Ellard was again superb, and was ably supported by Tristan Stead and the long-sleeved Chris Clark. Dan McLinden and Nick Riddle again led a stellar defensive performance. Bundoora presents as a huge challenge, a win will put us two games clear inside the top three. RESERVES: Recorded a 58-point victory over archrival West Preston. The boys were in control at every break, besides a lapse at the beginning of the last, led by Josh Riddle who returned from injury. Marcus Allen dominated the half back line taking several big grabs, whilst Jason Tucker defended dourly. Jake Rowe returned to form on the wing, providing the forwards with good 14 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record is heading to Rio, good luck in your event – hope you bring home the gold.

UNDER-19: The future stars got themselves back on the winners list with a 68-point win.

Nick Ross turned it on with four majors , as did Mick Irving. Tom Phelan and Mitch Merkel chimed in with three each, and Tom BevanShannon put together another solid performance.

NFL. ORG. AU 17 MEADOWS GREYHOUNDS DIVISION 1 MACLEOD We returned to De Winton Park and finished the day with wins to the seniors and reserves and a narrow loss in the under-19s. SENIORS: Some late winter sunshine and drying winds bode for a much better surface than our last home game. We jumped out of the blocks early in the piece and by half-time we held a six-goal lead. It was nip and tuck in the second half and although Mont threatened several times we held our nerve and in the end a five-goal win was a solid result. Better players came from the backline where Hayden Seivers repelled many opposition forays and Brad Leggett stood tall against bigger-bodied opponents. Scooter mopped up as usual from the half-backline while Liam Brandt was busy around the packs. Hopefully with the return of some senior players soon from injury we can put our best foot forward in the run home to the finals. RESERVES: The reserves kept their finals chances alive with a hard-fought eight-point win. Experienced hands Mooka, Nannas, Simmo and Brad Pearce led the way. WEST PRESTON - LAKESIDE This week it’s Macleod which doesn’t get any easier but with a spot in the top five still up for grabs the boys have put a solid week on the track and will come out firing. LAST WEEK: Wasted opportunities early came back to haunt us going down by 18 points against Greensborough. The twos and under-19s were once again in the games but failed to finish them off. Special mention to the Slime for enjoying a sip during and after, especially the boys off to Oktoberfest.

NFL. ORG. AU 19 MEADOWS GREYHOUNDS DIVISION 1 MONTMORENCY Today we host Heidelberg as we venture into the business end of the season. We are currently hanging onto fifth place by the skin of our teeth and the run home will see each match take on increased significance after consecutive defeats SENIORS: We were blown out of the water early at Macleod. Despite a strong lift in performance after half time the bird had flown and we had to lower our colours to the superior Macleod outfit – the only team we have conceded 100 points to in game since Round 3. Today’s game represents a new challenge. There were some very strong signs in the second half last Saturday and the home team will be looking to pick up where left off. Our recent starts have been a bit tardy and this will undoubtedly be an area of focus. We have a terrific recent record against the Tigers, especially at home, so a strong performance is on the cards. RESERVES: It was another close loss on the back of a last quarter fadeout. Despite five goals from Nick Guthrie and strong games from Xavier Cahill and Lewis Franz, the Magpies came up eight points short after HEIDELBERG 140 year photo at next week’s home game v Eltham. NEXT WEEK: Next week we’ll be taking a 140-year commemorative photo underneath the scoreboard between the senior and reserves game. We want everyone to turn up in Heidelberg colours and be a part of an important commemorative photo. ROUND 13 WRAP: Both sides were able to put solid wining scores on the board against Whittlesea last week in a strong outing. The senior side finished with a very strong second half, running out comfortable winners. Daniel Cookson took the mark of the day which he was quite happy to point out was at the 19-minute mark of the third quarter for anyone wanting to look at the replay. The twos played their best four-quarter effort for the season, running the game out very strongly. Good job. ROUND 14 PREVIEW: Today we travel to Mont. This has been a tough road trip in recent years with our last win there in appalling wet and muddy conditions a few years ago. The seniors are looking to make it two in a row against Mont and the twos are looking to 20 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record holding a three quarter time lead. UNDER-19: A sleep in today for the young Monty boys today with the bye. Last Saturday saw the Magpies record a very fortuitous victory. Against a very hungry Kangaroos outfit the team in black and white fell over the line by the barest possible margin. No doubt Darren Kane will be hoping the week off will freshen up his charges as we head into the pointy end. CONGRATULATIONS: Well done to Ben Fennell on being awarded the Best on Ground Medal last Sunday for Vic Metro in the big clash against Vic Country at Mernda. Ben and Jesse Donaldson were amongst the strongest contributors for the Metro team. It was the Country boys who got the chocolates 12.17.89 to 7.8.50. Congratulations to both Monty players on carrying themselves with such distinction. BUSINESS LUNCHEON: Friday August 5 at the Clubrooms is our next event.

Should be a beauty. CELEBRATION BALL REVIEW: The 140 year ball was a great night. The Lamb was to die for. The chicken was pretty tasty as well. The photos of captains, coaches, premiership players, life members, amongst others proved to be a real highlight of the night. Fortunately Desy was happy with his table and no one messed around with the silent auction, keeping Bill’s blood pressure in check. The dance floor got the usual hammering. It is pleasing to report that Doogs didn’t fall over or suffer any dance floor injuries. SOCIAL EVENTS: Please make sure you check out our sponsors page which has all of the upcoming social events.

NFL. ORG. AU 21 MEADOWS GREYHOUNDS DIVISION 1 NORTHCOTE PARK The boys return home this week to host Whittlesea. SENIORS: A fast start had us three goals up within the blink of an eye but turned sour by quarter time. A win was essential to keep any hopes of finals alive but despite turning a one-goal deficit into a one-point lead in the second quarter, the seniors were less than convincing against the bottom side. Our 22-point lead wasn’t insurmountable, especially after trading goals early in the last, the game was alive. Classy goals to Bronik Davies and Jordan Collopy put us on the brink. Mannon Jonhston teased the Northcote faithful, hitting the post, but about a minute later Ash Close took a mark and handballed to Koden Coleman who sealed the game, running away 41-point winners. Jordan Perry had the ball on a string and Bronik, Mannon and Koden had great games. RESERVES: After just a one point lead at quarter time, it seemed our reserves were just beginning to kick away in the second. Dominance of play and an unbelievable Cam Taylor goal put the writing on the wall for a big win. But a nine-point buffer turned into an eight-point WHITTLESEA On the road again this week as we travel to Bill Lawry Oval to take on Northcote Park. SENIORS: Perfect footy weather and a big test for the team down at Warringal Park against Heidelberg. While it was a hard fought contest the boys were on the back foot for most of the day. Some great passages of play were often followed by forced errors as a result of opposition pressure. Positives from the game lie in the resilience of our back line and the development of our young players. Every game is an invaluable lesson on what it takes to play Division 1 football and our young players will benefit from this. Best Players: M. Atta, M. Dornauf, T. Falls, R. Dyson, N. Pupillo, C. Horman. RESERVES: While our determination and endeavour was never lacking, opportunities down forward were limited in the first half, amplified by some costly turnovers. An anonymous crop dusting at half time left a bad taste but the boys were determined to make amends for the previous two quarters of footy. They were told to take the game on at all costs which resulted in some hard running off half back and 22 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record deficit at the last change. A few minutes into the last, Robbie Chadwick got absolutely crunched in a courageous marking contest which proved a turning point. He got a 50m penalty and kicked a huge goal. Squizzy’s sixth sealed the game with a few minutes to go. Squizzy’s played his best game for the club, and Trent Fallon, Mick Naldrett and Chaddy all stood out. UNDER-19: You wouldn’t know we were one game below Lower Plenty if you watched the poor first half we dished up. Lower held us goalless and kicked 6.5 themselves in an insipid first half. Cam Simpson and Liam Waldron had a crack with little support. After Andre Botoulos put through our first, on the back of a half time spray, we showed we were far from incapable of being competitive. In fact, we dominated most of the third quarter and kicked three goals but only won the quarter by five points. An even last quarter saw Lower run out comfortable winners. Simmo, Liam and Daniel Brown all had good games. SOCIAL: July 24 – 100-100s. Big money to be won, see Joe Amad for tickets; July 30 –Ladies Luncheon from till 4pm. $30 per person.

Best Players: S. Dempsey, M. Taplin, M. Brennan, C. Sloan, E. Gorski, P. Higgins. UNDER-19: Had the bye and will be looking to claim their second win this week when they take on Northcote Park. NETBALL: Great effort by the girls to secure four wins out of six games played on Friday night. $5K DRAW: A nail-biting finish to the $5k Draw, where there were more deals made than car city.

After starting the season with nine-straight wins, the Bridges are now in a tussle with North Heidelberg for the minor premiership, with the Bulldogs trailing the Bridges by just a single game. The Fitzroy Stars also sit on the same wins as North Heidelberg – albeit with the Stars having played two extra games, ahead of a bye this weekend. Hurstbridge will look to put a poor fortnight behind it when it hosts Thomastown at Ben Frilay Oval. The Bridges will be happy to return to their home fortress as both of their defeats have occurred while playing on the road. Last week a seven-goal to one opening quarter in favour of the Fitzroy Stars nullified the Bridges hopes of winning their tenth game of the season. The Bridges fought the game out and kicked eight final-term goals, but still fell 29 points short. Chris Burton kicked six majors and John Kreuzer was named as the Bridges’ best player but they could do little to stop a rampant Stars side, led by 10 goals from former Bridges forward Daniel Francis. The ladder-leader faces a Thomastown side fresh off a thrilling one-point victory over Panton Hill in Round 14. In a game that was evenly contested all the way through, the Bears did enough to scrape through for the win, thanks to five goals from Jacob Osei-Duro and a brilliant display from Adrian Natoli. The victory ended a two-game losing streak and kept alive the Bears slim hopes of playing finals. If they are going to aim for finals then they must win their four remaining games and hope for a Diamond Creek form slump. Second-placed North Heidelberg will look to increase pressure on Hurstbridge at the top of the ladder when it hosts bottom-placed rival Lalor at Shelley Reserve. Having lost just one game since Round 4, the Bulldogs can now set their sights on top spot. They again showed their premiership credentials with an impressive 21-point victory over Diamond Creek – their seventh win from their past eight games. Following a seven-goal haul against Panton Hill, Shane Harvey played further up the ground against the Creekers and found plenty of the football. With Harvey spending less time inside 50m, it was by Christopher Chrysostomou up to his teammates to carry the load in attack. Kyle McDonald stood up when his team needed him, booting three goals. Pasquale Saccuzzo, Brody Tardio and Leigh Gilbert were the outstanding players in the Bulldogs win, where their side overcame a fast start by the Creekers before gaining control in the second half. Not much can be said except for 2016 being an utter disappointment for the team from Lalor. However, an upset win this week against their old rival would provide a positive note on an otherwise forgettable campaign. Todd Hughes continues to give his all for the Bloods and sits third on the goal kicking table with 44 goals. Jarrod King and Shane Jacobs have also led from the front, while youngster Jackson Freebairn has proven himself to be a future leader of the Bloods. The final game of the round sees Panton Hill play host to Diamond Creek at Cracknell Reserve. Last start, Panton Hill suffered a heartbreaking onepoint defeat to Thomastown in what was one of the games of the year, with the margin never greater than seven points at each break of play. Tyler Scarce, Brendan O’Connor and Joffa Byron kicked 14 goals between them but could not do enough to get the Redbacks over the line, as they slipped to sixth place. The 19 goals the Redbacks kicked in the match equalled their highest total for the season. Diamond Creek lost pace on the top two following their defeat to North Heidelberg last Saturday – the club’s first home loss for the season. After their win over Hurstbridge in Round 13, the Creekers were confident of taking second spot from the Bulldogs. They looked the goods early, racing to a 19-point win midway through the first term, before struggling to hit the scoreboard after quarter time. Chris Moloney, Oliver Parks and Brad Perry were the Creekers best players, while Rory Kavanagh presented well up forward and finished with four goals. Only Jack Prosser and Simon Buchanan managed goals alongside Kavanagh. The Creekers will be expecting to come away with a win over Panton Hill and have the edge over the Redbacks; winning the past four games these sides have played. WWW. NFL. ORG. AU 27 DIVISION 2 PANTON HILL Back at home this week to host Diamond Creek. SENIORS: No doubt a disappointing result at Thomastown but a very gallant effort from all considering we were playing with just 20 fit players for the majority of the game. It also looks like we now know how to keep the scoreboard ticking over these days so that means regular wins aren’t beyond us. RESERVES: Returned a pretty poor result with the backline under siege all game. Brad Sansom worked hard and deserved to be noted in the best players. UNDER-19: Were lucky enough to play on Friday night at the Hill and put on a really good game against St Mary’s. Our boys seemed to have just as much of the footy as the well drilled Burra but we struggled hitting our forward targets with the same efficiency. The night game was very well supported by both Panton Hill and St Mary’s members and was great to welcome many of our visitors into the social rooms. Let’s play more Friday nights! JUNIORS: Our under-13s played at home last and went down to Wallan. We’d certainly improved on our DIAMOND CREEK Congratulations to Chris Moloney on his 150th senior game for the club this week against Panton Hill. SENIORS: Let’s get back on the winners list! We went down to North Heidelberg by 21 points. Although we played patches of good footy we weren’t able to string it together for long enough to get the points. If there’s any positives to take from the loss, it’s that we only lost by 21 points despite never playing our best footy. If we bring our best for four quarters, we can match it with anyone. RESERVES: The reserves beat North Heidelberg by 42 points. After a tight first half we kicked away in the third quarter with six goals to none. The last quarter was fairly scrappy with a couple of goals each. A good win against a fellow top four side with still plenty of improvement left in the boys. We look forward to Panton Hill this weekend. UNDER-19: The under-19s had a strong win against an undermanned North Heidelberg team with a clinical display of team footy, winning by a huge 160 points. 28 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record last encounter with them. Congratulations to Khody Thomas on playing his 50th game. Under-11s were away to Lalor but unfortunately too couldn’t take the points. This week is the final round of the season for our juniors so it’d be great to have lots of support for our little Redbacks. All those senior, reserves and under-19s should return the support your water carriers give you during your games. Both teams play Kinglake but 11s are at home and the 13s are away. Check the website or Facebook for updates! SOCIAL: Panton Hill Ladies Day is on July 30. Our major raffle draw is fast approaching so get your tickets sold and returned to Greg Mason and collect some more to sell! Look out for the $5000 Draw on August 7 – tickets are $50 includes all food. There are still some players not up to date with their registration fees and club gear. See Chris Cahir to finalise your account. Wouldn’t want to get your mug on a wanted poster would you? THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: If at first you don’t succeed, then skydiving is surely not for you. The boys kicked plenty of behinds so could have been an even bigger margin but a great result anyway. Well done to Cam Dowse with 10 goals. NETBALL: A not so great weekend on the netball front with the Div 1 team having a bye and the other three teams suffering losses. We will be back better this week! Go Creekers! LADIES NIGHT: This Saturday July 23 is the next player’s function with Ladies Night. It is always a good night so get along! Tickets available at the door. SPONSORS DAY: Saturday July 30 is our second Sponsors Day for the game against Lalor. Details: Steve Sampson 0418 212 154.

NFL. ORG. AU 35 DIVISION 2 HURSTBRIDGE Today we welcome Thomastown players, committee and supporters to Ben Frilay Oval. Let’s us all get around our boys and each other. SENIORS: After a slow start we had to play catch up football against the Fitzroy Stars. Six goals down at quarter time isn’t an ideal start. To get back into the game we had to take more risks than normal, which provided Fitzroy Stars a lot of space and time when the ball was turned over. To our boys’ credit we fought the game out and kicked eight goals in the last quarter. Today is a new day. Learn from the past and move forward. RESERVES: Last week we were lucky to come away 26-point winners. Four quarters boys! We have spoken about it before. Our attitude and effort need to change. Great to see Donnas, Zac, Bryce and Mitchy Lucas stepping up. We have Thomastown today in another top of the table clash. Run out proudly in your jumper, support each other and back your team mates. UNDER-19: We headed to away to Kilmore needing a win to stay in touch with the top four. We were up THOMASTOWN The boys are off to Ben Frilay Oval this week to take on Hurstbridge. SENIORS: We came into the game against Panton Hill knowing that our best would be good enough to get the result. In an entertaining and see sawing battle we came away with the narrowest of victories. Mistakes were made and our kicking at goal was a definite let down but we secured the four points and got to belt out the song. Great effort by all concerned. RESERVES: On the back of a poor showing against Fitzroy Stars we needed to respond. Pleasingly we put together an emphatic four-quarter effort to run away easy victors against Panton Hill. Now another test awaits in the form of Hurstbridge, with a lot at stake for the winner. Hopefully the lessons learnt from our Fitzroy game are still ringing in the ears and we need to ensure we are on top of our game come Saturday. OKTOBERFEST: Our next function is the Oktoberfest which will be at the clubrooms this Saturday the 23rd of July. German beer and finger food provided and fancy dress is strongly encouraged. Doors open at 7pm and 36 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record against it with 18 players and some like Max Gunn were injured. In wet conditions there were a lot of turnovers and goals seemed hard to come by. It was a hard fought first half and we went in seven points down. Early in the third ruckman Mitchy Reynolds was on fire, but he came down with a knee injury which left us with 17. The boys pulled together and found something extra. To the last second they gave everything they had. We went done by seven points but every player can hold their head high. NETBALL: The girls play each Friday night.

Wait too long and you will simply be left holding the rod.” DIVISION 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 11A 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 48 49 50 51 52 Sean Jellie (C) Micheal Farrelly Jay Barbera Tiernan Barbera Jarrod Tilley Chris Burton Daniel Sadowy Ryan Burton Josh Saw Kyle Thompson Jason Buhagiar Joel Ballie Tyron Loader Kiel Vann Lachlan East Tom Simpson Mitchell Thompson Aron Burns Hayden Farrelly Brett Woodhouse Mitchell Burton Tony Heron Brayden Shaw (C) Shane Woodhouse Bryce Mullane Mitch Lucas Louis Ripon Nick Milne Tom McLennan Kale Frost Mac Batchelor Dale Eames Rhys Frost Callum Thomas Alisdair Jackson John Kreuzer James McCarthy Jaiden Vann James Currie Craig Mehmet Tom Grimes Aiden Clarke James Thompson Brent Hay Jack Donnelly Michael Harper Luke Kelly Mark Domino Jesse Walton Luke Hannah Cam Delbridge HURSTBRIDGE THOMASTOWN Senior Coach: Trevor Frost and Rob Dyson Reserves Coach: Steve Leeman Under 19 Coach: Kevin Lewis Senior Coach: Dean Sinclair Reserves Coach: Gavin Mutz 53 55 56 60 64 65 66 69 70 72 77 80 81 90 92 93 94 98 99 Paul Johnson Declan Carson-McLennan Zach Webb Jarryd Lediott John Bunn Geoff Websdale Dylan Shanhun Luke Owen Billy Gunn Billy Ratje Casey Hopkins Louie Johnson Declan McLennan Ben Simondson Rad Dyson Joel Dale Mitchell Dale Riley Reading Bowen Griffiths UNDER 19 2 3 5 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 18 19 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 29 30 34 38 40 42 47 92 94 98 Max Gunn Caleb McElroy Manzie Jeremy Reivers Harry Bourne Callum Jenkins (C) Tom Garrard Adam Sims Angus Garrard Lachlan East Tom Simpson Mitchell Lockett Christian Flegg Bryce East Ben Rowe Jordi Bourne Dylan Moratto Joel Lovett Matt Anderson Josh Kenshole Kyle Hucker Jordan Kerney Jakob Glass-McClasker Bryce Kerney Mitchell Reynolds (VC) Mitchell Hymus Brod Dawson Rad Dyson Mitchell Dale Riley Reading 1 2 3 4 5 6 6A 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 15A 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 Jason Abela (C) Julian Terzioski David Folino James Rizzolio Tristain Harrower Dean Francis Joe Colaci James Mercuri Michael Di Battista Stefan Berak Robert Barbara Christopher Higgins Josh Beare Jacob Osei-Duro Luke Wakeling Steven Cadby Benjamin Fitzgerald John Aguis Fabian Farchione Joseph Vaccaro Luke Fellows Terry Dehghani Matthew Cupo Anthony Calafiore Sashe Spiroski Sean Abela Adrian Farchione Ben Talevski Andrew Polifiore Michael Collier Michael De Agostino Nathan Gravina Adrian Lesar Carl Peterson Adrian Pappas Declan Paras Michael Cianciosi Ricky Mercuri Nick Fiore Andrew Cieri Matt Dirkx Athan Stavridis Simon Harraka Danny Ish Anthony Fazzari (C) Christian Kallinikos Daniel Johnson 47 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 72 72A 74 75 76 77 91 Costa Missailidis Rob Mazanovski Jonathon Mccumber-Kelly Nicholas O’Connor Sean Rose Nick Deralas Joe Murfet Joshua Hurst Shannon Ball Steven Goodwin Joe Murfet Michael Eleftheriadis Daniel Damani Giva Masuer Sasha Ladges Sean Bathman Aaron Bird Aaron Lapira Davo Aaron Matthew Kalotihos Matthew Mallamace WWW.

To all Bloods supporters please enjoy our hospitality and you are most welcome to join us for a few refreshments post game. SENIORS: Diamond Creek started well however by end of first term we had clawed our way back. Had the best of general play however we were not nailing our chances until the third stanza where we broke the game open. Top win against good opposition on their turf with plenty contributing. Let’s not relax against our old foes this week. Best: B. Tardio, L. Gilbert, P. Saccuzzo, G. Assi, K. McDonald and R. Docherty. RESERVES: Wasn’t the result we hoped after some good form recently.

UNDER-19: Tough day at the office for the boys LALOR The boys return from the bye this weekend to take on North Heidelberg.

We must give the girls on the gate a mention. They are so mean they won’t let the wind through without paying. And the quote of the week: “I paid nothing for my kid to go to school.

Epping had a chance to go two games clear atop the ladder with a tenth-straight win, but was no match for Mernda at Epping Recreation Reserve, losing by 29 points. Mernda now shares top spot with the Blues on 11 wins but trails Epping by 17 percent. Watsonia sits third on ten wins, with St Mary’s on nine wins and South Morang on eight. Watsonia kept the double chance within their sights with a percentage-boosting win against Kilmore at J.J. Clancy Reserve. The Saints led by 26 points at the main break but put the foot down thereafter to win by 101-points. They boasted a staggering eight multiple goal-kickers – led by Jack Larkin with four. Brandon Austin was a standout for the Blues. “Kilmore fought hard and took the game on,” Watsonia coach Corey McCall said. “It was good to get that win and now we look forward to the next two weeks against the top two teams.” Heidelberg West led close to quarter time at Heidelberg Park, but a goal on the siren by St Mary’s recruit Toby O’Meara gave his team a slender lead. From there, St Mary’s broke the game open with 12 goals to two in the second and third terms. The Hawks were better in the final stanza, but St Mary’s ran out convincing 84-point winners. O’Meara finished with a bag of seven and fellow tall forward Daniel Dober snagged four. “We will keep positive – knowing what we can bring to the top sides,” Heidelberg West coach Grant Toms said. “It was good to get a win as we aim to end the year with five out of five,” St Mary’s coach Con Borg said. “We now look forward to the challenge against Banyule next week.” South Morang scored an easy 47-point win against Banyule at Mill Park Lakes Reserve to keep in touch with the top four. The experienced duo of Paul Harrison – with seven goals – and Luke Shelton were key contributors for the Lions. THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record by Doug Long Despite winning the final term, it was a bad day for the Bears. They were not able to stay with their opponents when the heat was on, and Luke Giles limped off late in the game with a leg injury. Fifth-placed South Morang can continue its push for finals in Round 15 action when it becomes the last team to head north to play Kilmore. The Lions will be hot favourites for this one and, while the four points will be vitally important, a percentage boost would also come in handy. The Blues would love to cause a big upset in order to gain a game break on Heidelberg West at the bottom of the table. St Mary’s – inside the top four by a game – hosts Banyule at Whatmough Park. The Burra will be highly favoured in this contest. They could climb as high as third – depending on other results. The Burra will also have one eye on the Round 16 clash with South Morang. Given that the results go as expected this weekend, the winner in Round 16 will be inside the top four and the loser in fifth. But the Lions have the harder run home, with two games against premiership hopefuls to finish off the season after the clash against the Burra. Epping will be looking to get back on the winners’ list immediately when it travels to Heidelberg Park to play Heidelberg West. Knowing that a loss could see them lose top spot, the Blues will be expected to bounce back from last week’s disappointment in a top versus bottom encounter. Match of the day status belongs to the tussle between Mernda and Watsonia at A.K. Lines Reserve. The Saints sit one game behind the Demons, but with a superior percentage. So the likely prize for the winner will be the coveted second spot on the ladder. Tipsters will struggle to separate these two teams, but may be tempted to go for the Saints due to the home ground advantage. While a win by the Saints could set up a great threeway contest for the double chance, a Demons win would put them two games clear of Watsonia with three games to play. WWW. NFL. ORG. AU 43 HEIDELBERG GOLF CLUB DIVISION 3 HEIDELBERG WEST Today we welcome top of the table Epping to Heidelberg Park. SENIORS: After a promising start, kicking three of the first four goals, we were not able to go with St Mary’s last week, who outworked us across the board. We face a big challenge against Epping who gave us a giant hiding earlier in the season. We have improved greatly since then and we will embrace the challenge and measure how much we have improved. Best players last week were Nahas, Jules, Brad and Amon. RESERVES: We were depleted this week due to injuries and unavailabilities and we came up against a super professional reserves outfit. Nonetheless the boys he a crack and took it right up to the opposition during the second and fourth quarters. Ryan Offer continues his great season down back and was BOG. Andy G, Jack Fulgrabe and Dougie all tried hard. NETBALL: The momentum hit a wall last week suffering our first loss in quite a while. The girls are still on top of the ladder and will be looking to bounce back EPPING After two good wins to the reserves and under-19s, the seniors fell short of recording their tenth-straight win. We refocus and turn our attention to Heidelberg West today. SENIORS: A great day for footy last Saturday however we did not put our best foot forward. Mernda were too good on the day, showing plenty of pace and skill as well as toughness. We have done very well up to date and there is no reason if we stick to our guns that won’t continue. RESERVES: After a disappointing loss to St Mary’s the week prior we drilled into the boys that we must get back to playing hard team footy. To the boys’ credit we came out on fire, kicking 12 goals to two in the first half. To the delight of Leigh and myself the boys kept their foot on the gas, running out 100+ point winners. A few special mentions, firstly to young Mason who after kicking his second goal told the boys he “was putting on a show!” and to Choc for his amazing run down tackle. There were a few falcons that need mentioning, mainly to Watto. Maybe you should try out for the soccer team, champ!

NFL. ORG. AU 45 HEIDELBERG GOLF CLUB DIVISION 3 KILMORE This week we move on to South Morang at home and hope to continue to improve on the things we need to and put together a solid four-quarter effort. SENIORS: We hosted Watsonia and went into the game a little undermanned and with 5 under-19s in the side. It was great to give our kids an opportunity to play some senior football. At half time we trailed by four goals and felt we were doing the right things. Our turnovers probably hurt us a bit in the first half. The second half was a different story, we seemed to stop doing the things that kept us in it in the first half. That will get better with experience and fitness leading into next year. Brandon Austin made the step up to senior football look easy, giving us plenty of run and carry from the wing. Pete de Sousa and Tommy Snaith worked hard in defence all day, while Nick Sheldon and Marcus Webb fought hard all day in the midfield. RESERVES: We are very proud of the effort the boys put in last week. Losing by 10 points to Watsonia, they fought hard all game and put in a massive effort. SOUTH MORANG This week all three sides are on the road to take on Kilmore. LAST WEEK: Two out of three ain’t bad, but three was what we are after. The seniors were on song from the outset against Banyule and it proved the sort of play we can produce. The reserves kept their dominate form going and really showed last year’s premiers how far away they are this year. The under-19s were outclassed by a very strong Banyule side and we will need to regroup very quickly. THIS WEEK: The seniors must must win today against Kilmore and win extremely well to keep our destiny in our own hands. As for the reserves, there is not much we can say except keep to Gary’s structures and the rest will take care of itself. This is a danger game for the under-19 boys that cannot be lost. Play to our standards and structures and we win. If we don’t, well who knows? TRIVIA NIGHT: The annual trivia night is on tonight at Lalor Stars. If anybody wants a late ticket see Leah as soon as possible. 46 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record Looking forward to the future for this team. UNDER-19: Last week was a big challenge as we had a number of players out. All I asked of the boys was to not give up at all until the end. Both sides had a fair crack in the first quarter with nothing separating them. The second quarter was another tough one but we were still in the game, with the whole team playing really good football. The third and fourth quarters came down to which side wanted it most, and our boys didn’t take a backward step. They were the team that held strong and recorded a very well earned win. NETBALL: We had 3 out of 4 wins this week. Big credit to Kilmore 4 who had a massive win over Thomastown. Kilmore 3 beat the top of the ladder Heidelberg West by 14 goals. Kilmore 1 finally put another win on the board securing there spot at number 1 on the ladder. Bad luck to our Kilmore 2 who had to take the court with six. We worked hard all game but couldn’t come out with a win. SOCIAL: Man ‘O’ Man is July 23. $10 per ticket. Please contact Elise Woolfe. 5K DRAW: The 5K draw is after the Epping game on the 5th of August at the club. Tickets are $75 per head and include a drinks and meal package and entry to the draw.

NFL. ORG. AU 47 HEIDELBERG GOLF CLUB DIVISION 3 ST MARY’S Banyule at home with this year’s Colts as guests is the perfect setting to show the Senior club off at its best. Let’s make it a great day. FOOTBALL: The under-19s kicked off the weekend with a Friday night game at Panton Hill under lights. Great hospitality from the hosts combined with an 87-point win made it a successful night. Luke Awad and Josh Jarman named best with Ricky Wait and Jesse McKinnon both slotting four. Jesse’s tally takes him to 57 for the season and an eight-goal lead. Again, thanks to Panton Hill for a terrific night and we’d welcome the chance to do it again. The ressies continued on their winning way with a 102-point victory over Heidelberg West. Jimmy Girolami and Jarrod Millett registered four each. Brad Gedge and Winchy, first two in the best. The seniors did what was required after a tough couple of weeks and after a slow start against a hard working West side, came home 84-point winners. Bunks named best and Dobes with four goals named second. Toby was a strong target up forward getting seven majors. NETBALL: Mixed results on Friday night with finals not BANYULE All three sides are on the road this week when we travel to Whatmough Park to take on St Mary’s.

The third team went down to a strong South Morang outfit, losing 32-17. The twos girls had a tight 21-18 victory against Greensborough and will need to keep winning and have a fair bit of luck to make the four. The first girls played what potentially could be a grand final preview. Whittlesea prevailed by 6 goals, 27-21, which sees Whittlesea on top and the Burra second.

NFL. ORG. AU 49 HEIDELBERG GOLF CLUB DIVISION 3 WATSONIA Last week took us up the highway to Kilmore. In perfect conditions we managed to get the two wins. Bigger challenges await today as we seek redemption against Mernda. SENIORS: The boys started well against a plucky Kilmore side, kicking away to a handy lead. In a great fightback Kilmore were able to string a few goals together to come back at us. After a rev up at half time, the boys out the foot down. Larkin, Jezza and Harry were lively up forward, while major highlights of the day were Pera being the victim of a hanger and Crawf screaming like a Banshee. RESERVES: Well, that was close! Almost became part of a historic day for the Kilmore Football Club, who came out well structured and ready to play. They were hungrier, more disciplined and worked for each other significantly better than we did, and for the first three quarters we paid for it. The message at three-quarter time was to use our strengths, which were our running MERNDA Wins like Saturday’s senior games are the reason you go to this football club. SENIORS: That’s the way you do it boys. It was a good patch of footy, probably not our best football overall given we were outpointed at stages, but we now know our best football is good enough to topple anyone on our day. The boys played for the jumper; Micka, who sadly lost his grandmother during the week; as well as for each other. It was great to see Lezzy and Braddy return to their old stomping grounds and play great games and it was great that all 22 contributed in different ways. Everything clicked, but we have to do it again consistently, starting with today against Watsonia. RESERVES: Reesy was filthy about the effort. That’s all you need to know. UNDER-19s: Disappointing given what was at stake. Epping outplayed us throughout the morning and were much too strong. We had some reasonable performers – Blacky played well, Dutty and Seb were good too and Lucas played alright, but across the board we just didn’t have enough. Next week against Hurstbridge 50 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record ability (and Simmo) to work Kilmore over. That came to fruition and we enjoyed a tightly fought win. Need to be on today against a team we feel we owe a better showing to! $2000 DRAW: Great turn last weekend. Well done to Fiddler for winning the cash, anyone know how much the young man put back over the bar, as per etiquette? Was great to see future Tubbin Hall of Famers Az and Buzz join Crawf and Ocean for a steam, still a while off robe status, but it’ll come. Speaking of robe status we measured Lizard up for one last week and we’ll have it emblazoned with his name for day one of pre season. As usual one has to choose a best on and it MUST go to Levi for an inspired version of Backstreets Back. Although Crawf’s conduction of The Gambler as last drinks were called at Bar 8 runs a close second. GO WATS! represents a huge game in terms of our finals chances. NETBALL: Couple of things – 1) I am a man of my word – and I promised I’d make my way over again, and 2) I did this keeping in mind that when I went over last year, we knocked off the top side on their home patch the next day. Guess what happened last weekend? Anyway, Mernda 1 was terrific, keeping Whittlesea at arms’ length throughout the entire game, meaning we’ve secured a spot in the finals. It was a different story for Mernda 2, who had a crack against West Ivanhoe, particularly in the first quarter, but was overpowered thereafter. Mernda 3 had a real crack against Fitzroy Stars but was just unable to get that extra goal, but split the points. TODAY: Huge game. You can’t underestimate the importance of this game. It’s a game where – if we win, we can almost secure a spot in the top two and we know how important a spot in the top two is come finals time. Watsonia are up and about – they’ve flown under the radar, they’ve won seven of their last eight and we can’t afford to drop this one. GO DEES!

AU 59 JUNIOR Review - Round 13 A look back at the weekend’s junior results as teams took to the field for Round 13 of the 2016 Northern Football League junior season. Epping booked its place in the Under-18 Girls finals series with a 28-point win over Greensborough at Anthony Beale Reserve. Talia Vincent booted six goals for the Blues, while Lauren Hughes was named best in the victory. Darebin sealed the minor premiership with a home win over Hurstbridge, with Karly McNiece named the Falcons best player. Finals-bound sides South Morang and Montmorency also netted Round 13 wins. It was a close week in the Under-17 competition, with four of the five games decided by margins of fourgoals or less. Diamond Creek jumped into fourth place with a nine-point win over ladder-leader Wallan, with Nicholas Miles playing a strong game. Greensborough jumped into second place following a strong home win over Whittlesea, while Research slipped to third after going down to a 22-point loss at Eltham. Mill Park won its fourth game of the year, defeating Epping away from home, while Montmorency remains a finals chance after recording a four-goal home win over Yarrambat. Montmorency moved a step closer to a first-place finish in Under-16 Blue, following a big home win over third-placed Laurimar Black. Rory McGougan and Braedyn Gillard both booted four goals. Eltham booked its place in the finals with a 26-point away win over Greensborough, booting nine goals to three after halftime. South Morang locked in a top-two finish with a big win over Mill Park, while West Preston-Lakeside scored a win at Wallan. Research climbed to second place on the Under-16 Red ladder after eclipsing Hurstbridge by 13 points at Ben Frilay Oval. The Searchers led by 27 points at three-quarter time and were able to hold on for their seventh win of the season, despite managing just two behinds in the final quarter. Whittlesea scored a massive home win to assure itself first place on the ladder, while Eltham claimed its fifth win after scoring a 38-point win over Wallan at Redleap Reserve. The Panthers set the victory up with a five-goal to zero third quarter. SOCIAL MEDIA, LIVE SCORES 60 by Ben Pascuzzi The battle for second place on the Under-16 Girls ladder will go down this weekend’s final round of the home and away season, after both Greensborough and Yarrambat scored Round 13 wins by comfortable margins. The Boro currently hold onto second spot with a superior percentage. Diamond Creek Women’s maintained its perfect season with a big win on the road over Eltham at Susan Street Reserve. Research scored an upset win over Laurimar, with Meghan Stagoll named the Searchers’ best in the eight-point triumph at Laurimar Reserve. As a result of the Power’s loss, Montmorency jumped into fourth spot on the ladder after downing Wallan in the battle of the Magpies. Two thrillers headlined the action in the Under-15 Blue competition. Montmorency remains a top-two chance after downing second-placed Greensborough by four points at Anthony Beale Reserve. The Magpies led by 25-points at three-quarter time and withstood a final-quarter comeback by the Boro to notch their seventh win of the year. Anthony Mcevoy was named the Magpies best player. Eltham won its second game of the season, upsetting West Preston-Lakeside by two points at J.E. Moore Park. The Panthers made their move in the second half, booting four goals to one, after trailing by 17 points at half time. Meanwhile, South Morang scored its 11th win in succession after downing Mill Park. Yarrambat moved within one win of second spot in Under-15 Red after claiming a 25-point win over Epping at Yarrambat War Memorial Park. The Blues slipped from third to fifth, following Wallan’s 17-point win over second-placed Research at Research Park. The Magpies ran away with the game, booting 3.4 to zero in the last quarter. Iziah Mahinay booted four goals in the win. Northcote won its first game of the year, downing Whittlesea by 19 points at McDonnell Park, while Diamond Creek improved its record to 13-0 after proving too good for South Morang. Good luck to all teams in their final home and away matches this week. To those not competing in the finals, we hope your final game of the season is a great one and we look forward to seeing you out on the field again in 2017.
